there's a dream in my house.

i found this room on the Brick House. It's like being inside a dream. i'll take the wood chop table, and those pretty white floors (for one room at least). it's like being on a boat.

in circles.

I am working on this garland right now for my house, but most likely with just white or old book pages.

don't peek on me

p.s. i want these. i would love a kitchen full of them.

joy

it's much more difficult to write a poem that is happy in sentiment, than one which is tragic. at least a good one.

my new shell

it makes a perfect detail on top of my book pile. i saw these when we were in montezuma, costa rica. they had made all kinds of beautiful jewelry from this shell. but i still like it best in it's original, organic form. it's perfect!


p.s. i miss the water.

coco bear

i saw annie bear sitting on my bed and it reminded me of my bebe coco.

gigi and i did our separate projects this morning and took a moment to document it, which leaves us with our photo of the day. I thought it was odd how similar our projects looked too! Her project is a solid perfume of cloves hiding in a beautiful lil' locket. Regina has a independent business that is growing quickly, so get your holiday orders in soon! She was just featured today on the Huffington post which you can see here. There are tons of really affordable gift ideas, with enough room to still afford some for yourself. :) Find her etsy page here: chanchainchained.

My project was this stuffed squash recipe recommended by my dear friend, MaryBeth. She made a similar recipe, which I preferred... so she will have to share her secret. I did add, to her recommendation: spinach, walnuts and mushrooms. And then also added a bit of asparagas and replaced the dried cherries with fresh figs. You'll see in the photos that they kind of resemble red meat, but much prettier and tastier.
